I'm 46 and would like to retrain as an English teacher. All the research I have done about this leads me to conclude that I must be mad! Horror stories of workload, no life balance and so on abound...
Is it really that bad? And if it isn't so bad, please could you advise regarding subject enhancement - that will be my first step as my degree/masters are not in English. What did you do to ensure you had sufficient knowledge of English before commencing training?
Thanks in advance - feeling a bit deflated!
Whether you're a permanent teacher, supply teacher or student teacher, you'll find others in the same situation on our Staffroom forum.
